That's exactly the point, employees shouldn't be thriving off of an almost mandatory donation, but should be fairly compensated in the first place.
They should be, but if tipping were abolished in the US they'd just become underpaid like every other blue collar worker.
Until they'd all find something else and employers would have to up the salaries or do the shit jobs themselves. You can't treat the root cause without addressing the symptoms first.
What? No. This is absolutely false.
